Maybe I was exagurating, but what I really meant was lag every five mins and occasional crashes
To other question: lag, screen goes black and I find myself on the "play" button again

Created by wa666r
After many requests and much anticipation, I am proud to present War's Legacy—a project I’ve been working on for quite some time. It currently features 14 fully custom factions in a single map, all updated to the latest versions, surpassing even the standalone versions I’ve previously uploaded. As of version 1.0, this project includes 558 custom units, 101 custom items, 1,222 custom abilities, 415 custom buffs/effects, 84 custom upgrades, over 1,100 custom triggers, and nearly 5,000 custom assets.
Each faction also comes with its own custom melee AI. Creating these required me to learn the fundamentals of AI design, and with the help of a few friends, I was able to bring them to life. However, it should be noted that some perform better than others, especially given the limitations of Warcraft 3’s AI system—most notably, the constraints on custom gold mines.
I’ve done my best to optimize this project, but there are still occasional moments of instability. Whether due to my own limited skill set or the constraints of the game engine, please keep in mind that this is an enormous project, and some issues are inevitable.
Included Factions:
|

|
|
HUMAN The Human Alliance is a coalition of noble kingdoms united to protect Azeroth from external threats, emphasizing honor, faith, and perseverance. They value cooperation and fight to preserve their heritage against encroaching darkness. |
ORC The Orcish Horde, forged in blood and strength, embraces a culture of survival and unity. Driven by honor and a desire for freedom, they rally under Warchiefs to overcome any challenge. |
NIGHT ELF Ancient guardians of nature, the Night Elves wield druidic magic and shadowy power to protect the world from destruction. Their civilization thrives in harmony with the wilds they revere. |
UNDEAD The Undead Scourge is an unholy army of mindless and malevolent creatures, raised to serve under the will of their dark masters. They exist to spread plague and death across Azeroth. |

QIRAJI The Qiraji are an insectoid race driven by the will of their Old God masters. Bound to their ancient city of Ahn'Qiraj, they plot to spread their dark influence across the world. |
ICE TROLLS The Ice Trolls are fierce and resilient natives of the frozen north, clinging to their shamanistic traditions. They are often hostile to outsiders encroaching on their lands. |

FACELESS ONES Servants of the Old Gods, the Faceless Ones are eldritch horrors who embody madness and chaos. They dwell in the depths, seeking to bring about the return of their masters. |
FELBLOOD ELVES Felblood Elves are blood elves corrupted by demonic fel energy, trading their grace for monstrous power. Their thirst for power makes them dangerous and unpredictable. |
UNDEAD NERUBIANS Undead Nerubians are the cursed remnants of the once-great nerubian empire, enslaved by the Scourge. They serve as cunning and relentless agents of undeath. |
LIVING NERUBIANS The Living Nerubians are the last free descendants of a fallen empire, defending their subterranean kingdoms with unmatched intelligence and resilience. Fiercely independent, they struggle against overwhelming odds. |

EXODAR DRAENEI The Exodar Draenei are a resilient and mystical race, deeply connected to the Light and advanced technology, using Arkonite Crystals to empower their troops with auras that boost strength and resilience. Their divine Gift of the Naaru enhances healing capabilities, while their mechanical units and technological prowess make them a formidable force in any conflict. |
LIGHTFORGED DRAENEI The Lightforged Draenei are a devout and tenacious race, blessed with radiant abilities and exceptional durability, excelling in prolonged battles and restoration. Their light-based powers bolster their ranks, ensure swift recovery, and illuminate the path to victory with unwavering faith and robust defenses. |
ILLIDARI The Illidari are a faction of demon hunters and fel-infused warriors led by Illidan Stormrage, dedicated to using the Burning Legion’s own power against them. Formed from exiled Night Elves, Blood Elves, and other outcasts, they train relentlessly in the arts of chaotic warfare and spectral sight to hunt demons with ruthless efficiency. |
KIRIN TOR The Kirin Tor is a powerful conclave of mages that governs the magical city of Dalaran, dedicated to the study, preservation, and control of arcane magic. Originally stewards of magic in the Eastern Kingdoms, they played a crucial role in battles against the Burning Legion and other threats to Azeroth. Though once nearly destroyed by the Scourge, they have since rebuilt and continue to serve as the world's foremost authority on magic, defending against those who would misuse its power. |
Gameplay Notes:
Player 1 will act as the Host, selecting the races for the Computer players at the start of the game. The difficulty can also be adjusted here.
Make sure the Computer's race is not set to Night Elf. (Even if you wish to face Night Elf opponents, selecting them can cause non-Night Elf AIs to malfunction.)
Once the match begins, each player will proceed to a custom race selection screen.
Factions yet to be added:

Technical Notes:
- While working on this project, I discovered an interesting limitation: the gameplay constants in Warcraft III do not provide infinite slots for heroes and town halls. To address this, a new system was implemented with the help of Riki. This system introduces a custom tier and hero limit mechanism. However, one limitation remains: once you select a hero, you cannot choose another until the current hero has finished summoning or reviving.
- I am uncertain about the stability of the engine and whether it can support adding all my factions into a single map file. While I aspire to eventually complete and implement all my factions, the feasibility of this goal remains unclear.
- This project is designed to be played on Warcraft 3 version 1.31+.
- If anyone is interested in creating exclusive melee maps for this project, let me know. I think it would be cool to have maps based on each faction.
- Looking for anyone who can optimize code, particularly GUI and JASS. I am trying to make this as optimized as I can so that I can fit all my factions.
Recent Fixes (v1.31):
- Fixed the Moon Glaive issue introduced by Reforged patch 1.33.
